Story
4-year-old neutered Doberman. He is up-to-date on vaccinations but is not currently housebroken. This playful and loving dog requires a special environment due to his territorial issues and unpredictability at times. - Age: 4 years - Health: Neutered, on anxiety medication and hypothyroid medication (which will be provided), and currently on a sensitive stomach diet. - Behavior: He is smart, trainable, and affectionate, but he cannot be housed with other dogs or small children. He thrives with plenty of exercise and needs a large yard to run and play. Ideal Home: We are hoping to find a home with someone who exercises daily and has a secure yard for those days when outdoor time is limited. He deserves a caring owner who can give him the attention and space he needs to flourish. Reason for Rehoming: Unfortunately, we must rehome him due to our current circumstances. His owner is wheelchair-bound and is unable to care for him adequate and is unable to care for him adequately due to brain

To learn more about Sadie please get in touch with dogs@lostdogrescue.org Sadie will be at one of our adoption events this weekend! Visit our event page (https://www.lostdogrescue.org/events/) to see which one—event listings are usually updated on Fridays with attending dogs. Sadie is a vibrant, expressive, and very boopable Pinscher/Doberman mix with the most poignant face you’ve ever seen—seriously, she could win awards for her eyebrow work. Sadie makes sure you know she’s around with a few enthusiastic barks. In her foster home, she’s proven to be a polite apartment pup. She only barks when someone’s at the door and spends most of her time relaxing quietly. On walks, Sadie is confident and composed; she enjoys exploring the world with curiosity and poise. Sweet, affectionate, and full of personality, Sadie has the perfect balance of energy and snuggles. She loves people, adores belly rubs, and makes a wonderful work-from-home companion, often resting her head on your lap between Zoom calls. With her spark of spunk, occasional zoomies, and loving nature, Sadie’s ready to bring joy, adventure, and cuddles to her forever home.

Story
Hi! I’m Commander, a Doberman mix and probably a little part unicorn. My birthday is probably sometime in January 2025 (thanks for asking, my favorite cake flavor is steak!). That makes me about 10 months old and 72 pounds of pure snuggle power. People are my favorite! Attention is my favorite! Hugs are my favorite! (Basically, if it involves love, I’m in.) My rescue coordinator calls me “Mister Let-Me-Hug-You". I’m a playful, goofy guy who’s still learning what to do with these extra-long legs, sometimes they forget they’re on the same team. I want nothing more than to be close to my people and soak up all the love they can give. I’m also a very strong boy who needs a confident, committed human to help me keep working on my leash manners. Right now, I’m fully convinced every walk is my big audition for a professional sled dog team. With patience and consistency, I’ll get the hang of it, I just have a little ways to go before I’m a “loose-leash” walker. Food is my love language. I’m playful, affectionate, goofy, and still figuring out where my long legs are supposed to go sometimes. Basically, I’m one big lovable jumble of joy who just needs a foster home (or adopter! please!) to continue helping me grow into my best self. If you’ve been dreaming of a happy, huggable, slightly uncoordinated adventure buddy, I’m your guy. No cats for me, thank you. I maybe able to live in an apartment but my tail alone will destroy every article you hold dear that is in proximity of my tail. I’m good with children, but I do love to hug, and at 72 pounds, I might accidentally knock them down. Dog parks aren’t my scene. I can be a bit overwhelming for some dogs, and my size can make others nervous. You don’t need a yard for me to be happy, though! Just common sense, regular walks, and maybe a pup cup or two. Professional training would be awesome for me, it’ll set us both up for success. Apply to foster or adopt me! https://tinyurl.com/TLCdogapp Foster radius: 20 miles from 20906 Adoption radius: 60 miles from 20906 My petfinder for more pics https://www.petfinder.com/dog/commander-0caeb313-4b9e-4e2a-94b0-1b0480bb592d/md/silver-spring/tascas-love-cooperative-inc-md511/details/ We don’t promote any of our dogs as house trained or allergy friendly.

Story
🌼 Meet Daffodil – A Shy Flower Blooming Into a Ray of Sunshine 🌼 Daffodil is pure joy wrapped up in puppy wiggles and soft ears. This gentle, shy girl is blossoming into an affectionate and playful pup who loves people, other dogs, and even cats! She’s indoors full-time now and thriving—calm, well-mannered, and soaking up love like sunlight. She’s still learning about crate training and how to walk on a leash, but she’s a fast learner and responds beautifully to gentle correction. Daffodil has the kind of personality that makes you fall for her without even realizing it. She’s sweet, silly, and a little bit magical—like a dream girl in dog form. She's still getting used to the idea that humans are safe and kind, but her tail is wagging more each day, and she’s always ready for playtime. Daffodil is the type of dog that makes fostering feel like a gift—and adopting her will feel like winning the lottery.

Story
💜 Adopt Dutchess – Loyal, Playful, and Learning to Trust 💜 Meet Dutchess, a beautiful, bashful sweetheart who’s equal parts puppy-playful and snuggle-curious. She’s still learning the ropes of being a family dog—but she’s showing so much promise. Dutchess is crate-trained, walks well on a leash, and gets along with other dogs and cats in her foster home. She does have some food guarding tendencies specifically when she’s in her crate, so we feed her separately to help her feel safe and secure. She’s currently working on this with consistency and patience—and she’s already making great progress. Dutchess is discovering that humans can be kind and loving, and while she starts off shy, she’s opening up more every day. She loves to play and is very much still a puppy at heart! She just needs a home that will keep helping her grow, set boundaries with love, and let her blossom at her own pace. If you're looking for a diamond in the rough who's already starting to shine—Dutchess is your girl. 💎

CHERRY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME!!!!   Come meet Cherry and other great adoptable dogs this Sunday (10/19) from 12-3 pm at the PetSmart in Falls Church, VA (6100A Arlington Blvd, Falls Church, VA 22044)!     Name: Cherry         Best Guess for Breed:  Min pin mix  Best Guess for Age: 6 years as of October 2024       SEX: Female   Approximate Weight: 12 lbs   Gets Along With:   Large dogs! She hasn't lived with cats that we know of, but she has tried to chase outdoor cats. She hasn't lived with kids as far as we are aware. We are happy to discuss integration techniques with potential adopters!   Currently Living at:   DC foster home   About Cherry: This sweetie with the incredible ears was abandoned and ended up in a shelter in Texas. She immediately closed that chapter with a bang and eagerly jumped into her next one - a shelter foster home in Texas. Her Texas foster described her as energetic, always liking to move around -  hey she may be 6 or so but small dogs' batteries last a LONG time and she's ready to go! She loves walks, loves car rides. She lived with a 80-pound poodle in that foster home and did well with him. She knows the command 'come' and when called, will come right away.   And she was just so loving, so happy to be with her Texas foster. Her foster said she's the type who does well with a lot of attention, a lot of time with her humans.  What she wants most of all is to be safe and loved for all her days. In exchange, you get a happy, loving, active little girl eager to trot by your side and then curl up against your lap. What do you say? Is Cherry the one for your home and your heart? What My DC Area Foster Says About Me:  Cherry loves walks - really LOVES walks and sniffing. But she can chill too - she's curled up on a dog bed at my feet as I type this. She's confident in the home - she walked in like she'd been here all her life. And she utterly loves being next to me, getting pets.  Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken.  All of our dogs are working on their crate training.  TO ADOPT:      The adoption fee for this dog is $460, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations and transport from the shelter.
